Food insecurity, price volatility and under-employment of rice farmers in Liberia are key drivers for the development of rice farming machines locally. This project work aims to design and fabricate a simple, low-cost, efficient mini rice harvester powered by a solar panel by translating learnt concepts and principles of engineering into a physical and workable rice harvester. A circular blade cutter, DC motor, DC battery and solar cells are the main components deployed on a rod-plate setup. The solar cell taps solar irradiance from the sun and, with the help of a charge controller, recharges a 12V, 35Amp.hour battery. The battery supplies DC current to a DC motor that drives a circular blade cutter during harvesting. The fabricated harvester fulfilled all design objectives and was justifiable on overall financial cost (USD 194.00), ease of use, and ease of reproduction. The performance of the harvester, in terms of smoothness of cut and completion of cut area, was found to be near 100%. However, the harvester field efficiency performance was found to be 30.75% with an aggregated efficiency of % and a payback period of only 71 hours of operation, equivalent to 60,696 sq.m of harvested rice farm. Incessant clogged cutter's surface and harvested stem removal delays, slowdowns as the operator makes turns, switch failures and re-fix delays during field tests are the primary causes of the low field efficiency. With an improved spacing between the blade cutter and the secondary guard, the performance of the harvester is expected to improve significantly. An average noise level of 88.8 decibels was detected during the harvester's operation; advisably, hearing protection earmuffs may be necessary to safely operate the mini harvester on the dailies for 6 hours. Notwithstanding that the effect of moisture content of the rice stalks, as an input parameter, was not considered in the development of the power requirement for the rice cutter, the harvester can be optimized with minimal effort for commercialization and adopted as a Made-In-Liberia invention.

“…Paddy SRR in Uttar Pradesh's Chandauli district reduced yield under irrigated conditions due to lack of adoption of sustainable practises such as reduced SRR. Farmers with advanced technical expertise rely heavily on sustainable practises such as crop rotation, land rotation, green and organic manures, integrated pest management (IPM), rotational grazing, seed bed preparation and cultivation for weed control [10].…”

Agriculture had a significant negative impact on environment for many decades. More land, fertiliser and pesticides had been used to increase the yield. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. According to research, a number of factors can affect farmers' decisions to effectively implement sustainable practises. This present investigation was undertaken during 2021-2023 to specify the item wise adoption of recommended sustainable Paddy farming practices in three districts namely Nizamabad, Khammam and Nalgonda districts representing North, Central and South agro climatic zones of Telangana state, respectively as these three districts account for more Paddy area from amongst the respective zones. Purposive sampling technique was employed for data collection from 216 Paddy farmers. Findings revealed that item wise adoption of recommended sustainable practices, depicts the partial adoption of listed components such as (puddling had complete adoption), selection of variety, selection of certified seed, seed rate, seed treatment (chemical methods had no adoption, pre-germination of Paddy seeds had complete adoption), nursery seed bed raising (sowing at recommended time had complete adoption), age of seedling (maintaining closer spacing of aged seedlings and increasing number of aged seedlings per hill had complete adoption), time of transplanting (transplanting in (first fortnight of June-July Kharif), (October -November-Rabi) had complete adoption), method of transplanting (transplanting the recommended number of seedlings per hill had complete adoption), row spacing (maintaining the recommended spacing between the two hills had complete adoption), fertilizers application, weed management, integrated pest and disease management, time of harvesting (harvesting crop at the recommended time had complete adoption) and method of harvesting (harvesting through combine harvester, drying Paddy after harvesting for one to two days and crop rotation like growing legumes before cereals to enhance farms biological stability had complete adoption). It may be a result of the farming experience, farming commitment, education, economic motivation, achievement motivation, connections with extension services, risk orientation and innovativeness in their farming methods drive for success. The aforementioned pattern of findings was also influenced by the efforts of line departments and front-line extension organisations like the District Agricultural Advisory and Transfer of Technology Centre and Krishi Vigyan Kendra’s.
